The Standalone app is still in beta-stage development, and may be buggy
⚠️Please note: The standalone app is currently more likely to have issues than the Manifest Version 2 extension. The app version is still young, and has some rough edges.
🐛 Report issues that you have, however you may want to consider downloading the current main-zip file, and using it that way, if you run into blockers. I appreciate how much people like the standalone, and will work to getting the issues worked out in the coming weeks/months.
👉 If you have new issues, revert to an older version if needed.
What's new in this version:
-
sign in buttons.
- you will need to use the sign in button to sign into Youtube, else security warning I think
- it will refresh the main source if active when you close the sign-in pop out
- make sure to close the sign in page when done; it won't capture messages itself
-
external links shouldn't open in your normal web browser anymore
-
if enter a URL via edit url, it now supports search terms; not just urls
-
the help menu has a list of command line arguments
--filesourceI think is an option that lets yo specify the location of a custom version of the extension code
- Thank you all for helping me get thru the bugs
previous release notes:
-
In the menu, you can do File -> Reset everything to clear all cache/session history. Might help resolve issues in some cases, but does wipe all settings. There's several new options in the menu, including Edit URL, pin on top, and working zoom in/out!
-
user agent tweaks to try to trick sites into thinking we're chrome.
-
prompt input pop up is HTML based now, so working towards something prettier. Also more room for messaging
-
each source/site now has its own session, making wiping cache/cookies easier. I hope. and maybe more secure? we'll see.
-
wheel mouse + ctrl lets you zoom in/out now
-
general dependency updates to libraries, etc.
